The book is laid out very well, covering each body system per chapter.
There is a lot of material to cover. I bought the text for an on-line 8 week class and it is very difficult to keep up. Trying to do the flash cards, the practise exercises and additional quizzes and games on the included CD are impossible in a short format class.
I don't like the number of practise exercises at the end of each chapter. I believe there are too many and take too long to complete. The answers should be included in the back of the book to help in study. With an on-line class, you don't have the luxury of checking them with an instructor.

I needed this book for a course I was taking at a local community college. The campus bookstore is selling the used version of this book for way more than I wanted to pay. I found the exact book I was looking for, NEW, and for a great price. The book was in pristine condition with cd-rom attached as well. There were other books that were being sold USED but I still got a better deal on a new book.

This textbook is a very well organized guide for learning medical terminology. It comes with not just the text itself but also flashcards for helping with memorization, and a cd-rom for more tools to practice. The addition of the cd-rom allows the student to hear the correct pronunciation of the medical terms, which is definitely a plus. With this type of class, all of these tools combined could make for a successful experience, provided of course, that the tools are utilized.

The book was the exact book I had to have for the class. It came with everything even though it was a used book. It has given me all the information I've needed so far. I don't like the binding because the back and front few pages sometimes have to be put back on but that is my only complaint.

So far I have told myself, "Why have I not discover this years ago". This would have made health field little bit more organized and easier to learn. But one problem I have discovered is, the book does not provide answers to questions, which slows down the learning process.
